1.  PLANT EXPLORER 

Plant Explorer (PE) is a value-added information resource for an operating plant, where integrated, equipment-centric information on drawings, data sheets, vendor data and procedure manuals are maintained centrally in electronic form on a suitable computing environment. PE provides a convenient and fast information retrieval to the authorized users spread across an operating plant facilitating reduction in equipment downtime and improvement in productivity. Further, it also facilitates regular updates so that the plant information is readily available.

The key features include:

bullet

Integration of heterogeneous plant information like

bullet

    - Drawings in vector form

bullet

    - Text documents

bullet

    - Manuals in Word format

bullet

    - Data in spreadsheets or Explorer tables

bullet

    -  Scanned images of drawings and documents

bullet

Windows based Graphics User Interface (GUI)

bullet

Client server LAN based RDBMS environment, flexibility of information

bullet

Retrieval through multiple navigational paths

bullet

Security and access control through user password

bullet

RDBMS and network level controls

bullet

Provision to update the Explorer contents

 

2.  REFINERY & PETROCHEMICAL MODELING SYSTEMS

 

LINEAR PROGRAMMING SOLUTIONS FOR

bullet Production planning 
bullet Logistics and supply chain management 
bullet Technology evaluation 
bullet Sizing of plant units in grass-roots and expansion studies 
bullet Feedstock selection

This Linear Programming modeling system, with built in multi-time period, multi-plant modeling capability, is particularly well suited for long, medium and short term planning. It is one of the most widely used, heavy duty, LP planning system in the world and is readily able to solve the needs of this function as well as long range monthly planning in the HQ office.

Applications

Refiners and Petrochemical plants use this system for many different planning and scheduling functions such as the following:

·         General Refinery Optimization

·         Crude Oil Evaluation / Allocation

·         Feedstock Evaluation

·         Performance Evaluations

·         Purchase / Sale / Trade Analysis

·         New Facilities Analysis

·         Debottlenecking Analysis

·         Unit Severity Decisions (Reformer, FCC, etc)

·         Transportation Analysis Between Plants

·         Supply Allocation from Several Sources and to Several Uses

·         Inventory Planning Analysis

·         Optimize Blending

·         Distribution Optimization

Modeling Functionality

The system can model Refineries and Petrochemical Plants of any size and complexity and can use different modeling techniques such as delta-based modeling, extreme-point modeling, quality-based modeling, distributive recursion, multi refinery modeling, multi period modeling, combined multi period/multi refinery modeling (not available in most other systems), and more.  Hundreds of transportation links of different types such as rail, ship, pipeline and multiples of each can be modeled.  There is no significant model row limit, process unit limit, or product limit.

REFINERY TECHNOLOGY DATABASE

There is a Refinery Technology Database in conjunction with the above LP Modeling System

The Refinery Technology Database contains unit operation correlations, augmented with utility data, physical property data, operating cost data, blending data and product specifications.  Users construct and calibrate models from basic unit operations data contained in the database. Data includes delta-feed quality yield correlations for most conversion units, utility and investment data, intermediate product quality data, and more.  The database contains all of the internal code to accurately simulate U.S. Clean Air specifications, including NOX, Toxics, and VOC, as well as CARB gasoline.  The database contains LP model representations of more than 80 refinery and petrochemical unit operations, including:

·         Reforming (High and Low Psi, Semi-Regen and Continuous, Gasoline and BTX, Yields corrected for Paraffins and Aromatics, Separate Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene precursor corrections)

·         Isomerization (C4, Light Naphtha including C5/C6)

·         FCC Naphtha Hydrotreater and 2nd Distillate Reactor for Clean Fuels production

·         Benzene and precursor splitting/saturation and reformate saturation

·         Hydro-desulfurization and Hydrocracking (Distillate through Residual)

·         Catalytic Cracking (Zeolytic and Synthetic Catalyst, LGO and HGO over a wide range of conversions)

·         Alkylation (C3, C4, C5), Polymerization, and Dimerization

·         MTBE, ETBE, Tame, Isooctane

·         Thermal Processes: Coking (Delayed, Fluid,and Flexi), Visbreaking, and Thermal Cracking

·         Solvent De-Asphalting (with or without DAO hydrotreating)

·         Hydrogen Manufacturing (gas through naphtha)

·         Sulfur Recovery and Gas Separation and Treating (Saturates and Un-Saturates)

·         Aromatics Recovery, Toluene De-Alkylation, Cumene, and Cyclohexane

 

CRUDE ASSAY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This system can process and manage all major crude oil properties and blending characteristics. It can work with your database or can be augmented with high quality assay libraries from other sources, such as, Chevron, BP, Petrofina, Phillips, and Haverly Systems.

It is easy to use and easy to connect to your planning package or other related applications and provides excellent ways to:

bullet

Manage assay libraries

bullet

Access and process any number of crude assays

bullet

Graphically smooth, extend and compare property curves

bullet

Add new crude assays

bullet

Adjust old assays

bullet

Accurately predict cut yields and properties using integration techniques

bullet

Calculate cut data for single crudes, crude groups, crude mixes, and hydrocarbon stream spikes

bullet

Estimate hydrocarbon gas chromatograph analyses

bullet

Simulate crude tower distillation for better data accuracy

bullet

Augment existing assay data with accurate predictive property correlations

bullet

Produce spreadsheet or text file results
